There is snow all around, but in the brightly lit tent, there is a warm and comfortable feeling.

How should I put it? It was like the feeling of crawling into a cardboard box when I was a kid. Even though this ordinary tent was fragile, looking out at the snow through the plastic window gave me a strange sense of security.

The high-proof liquor in the kettle on the small stove was bubbling with steam. As the green smoke rose, the warm light of the camp lantern became a little hazy, and the whole tent was filled with the aroma of liquor.

The thick smell of fireworks makes people completely forget that this is the world of Azeroth, where hundreds of vengeful spirits are wandering during the day.

Kitahara Sora, wearing a black fur-collared leather jacket, sat at the egg roll table. The table was not only filled with neatly cut raw meat slices, but also had a small oven.

Hui, who had changed into ordinary clothes, was on her left. She watched Yukino's operation quietly while putting her frozen red hands to her mouth to warm them. She looked very cute.

After you relax your mind and body, you can experience the physical defects of ordinary people. Now being able to feel defects is also a kind of happiness, isn't it? If you can't feel the cold and heat, and can't feel the changes of the four seasons, what's the point of living?

Just like what Yukino longed for, to become completely ordinary, one's own abilities were the guarantee.

Although she always carries the space ring with her, she only treats it as an ordinary portable backpack. The Frostmourne inside has become a car key, and the once powerful little mare Invincible... has completely become a means of transportation.

In fact, whether it is Yukino, Hui, or Kitahara Sora, they don't need to eat every day. As long as they take in energy occasionally, they can maintain the activity of the body. In the words of the cultivation system, they have long passed the "fasting period".

But how can we completely give up something as wonderful as eating?

Beiyuan Kong turned his head and looked with a strange look at the snacks filled with snacks on the bed in the 'bedroom' area behind him...potato chips, cola, coffee, boneless chicken feet, spicy strips, chocolate, small fish, jelly, rice crust...a mess.

By the way, this girl must have swept through all the supermarkets in Chinatown to buy down-to-earth things like spicy strips.

While complaining in his heart, Kitahara Sora accidentally noticed the outdoor toilet built by Yukino through the window, and his eyes became more and more strange...

It’s a recognized fact that fairies don’t need to go to the toilet, right? Do you dare to talk about these topics in the two-dimensional group?

Do you believe that your friends in the group can kill you in a matter of minutes? But anime doesn't show you that kind of scene. Real humans need to eat, drink, defecate and urinate.

To give the simplest example, before the girl was chosen, she lived as an ordinary person until she was 16 or 17 years old. Since she had to continue to be ordinary, it was not surprising that she needed an outdoor toilet.

Reasonable, that makes sense.

However, many campers do not actually bring toilets. Although they are said to be portable, they actually take up a lot of space even if placed in the trunk of a car, and there are public toilets in paid camping sites.

As for the real outdoor guys, they will not even consider the word "exquisite". They will only carry a multi-functional military shovel. Those who understand will understand.

"Zi..."

Just as Kitahara Sora was engaging in an intense ideological discussion about outdoor activities, the tempting sound of grilled meat on the iron plate interrupted his thoughts.

But after raising his head, Kitahara Sora felt a little confused. Why did the beautiful female chef have such raised eyebrows and looked like she was about to eat someone?

"Yukino?"

Yukino sneered, "What are you thinking about? Won't you share it?"

"What are you thinking about? What are you thinking about? Oh, I'm thinking about outdoor bigwigs, such as Bear Grylls and Debbie Hsu..."

"Ah."

"Hey?"

Beiyuankong's nerves tensed up, and he subconsciously felt that something bad was going to happen, so he looked at the food on the iron plate and said with a wry smile: "I want to eat and drink. This is the first time I eat Japanese barbecue made by you. I look forward to it, haha, I look forward to it."

"Oh? So you want to have a barbecue?"

Yukino deliberately imitated the tone of a yandere girl in anime and said slowly, "Kitahara-kun has been staring at the bathroom in a daze. So you were thinking about barbecue? So there is barbecue in the bathroom too?"

"What the hell?"

Kitahara Sora was startled, and suddenly realized why she was angry. He immediately shook his head like a rattle and said sincerely: "No, not at all! I'm looking at the snow!"

"Has the discussion turned into watching the snow? You have three answers to one question. You are really good."

There was a smile on Yukino's face, but that smile always felt extremely cold, as if there was a ghost floating behind her head.

"Ah, yes, yes, look at the snow, look at the snow!"

Kitahara Sora's tone froze, and he quickly changed the subject: "While watching the snow, I thought about the snow camping videos I had seen before, and I also wanted to eat barbecue."

Damn, what the hell! I just saw that little tent by accident and thought of some complaints. Okay, is your insight so amazing?

This girl is not as easy to bully as Hui. If she knew that I was thinking about her... ahem... beautiful girl while eating, she would probably draw out the filial piety sword in the next second.

"Well?"

Hui turned her gaze from the barbecue. She tilted her little head and looked very adorable with a silly look.

But this look almost made Kitahara Sora jump up, because her expression was starting to show some sinister intent!

"Senior, you don't know, although the senior may look silly sometimes, he is actually very knowledgeable and talented."

Hui stared at Yukino seriously, "So I believe he was thinking seriously about something just now."

"Huh? Really?"

Yukino flipped the barbecue and said with a smile, "Kitahara-kun, do you still have this side of you?"

"Hmm, ah? Right! After all, I graduated from a prestigious 985 university, so of course I know more than you. Seeing how focused you are, I don't want to disturb you, ha, ha."

Hearing Hui's inexplicable praise, Kitahara Sora was also stunned. Isn't this expression a prelude to something sinister? Why are you suddenly saying nice things?

Although I don’t know what happened to this girl suddenly, she did a good job in helping me change the subject. Well done, Hui!

So, Kitahara Sora looked at Hui with gratitude and said modestly: "Although it's not a particularly famous school, at least I have lived a few more years than you, right?"

"Oh? You mean, you know more than us, right? Like?"

Yukino raised her chin, and Kitahara Sora immediately understood. He poured some teriyaki soy sauce into the bowl in front of him and beat a sterilized egg in front of him into it.

While stirring, he said: "For example..."

"For example, when I first came here, my senior told me that there were no toilets in the Palace of Versailles."

"Hey?"

Kitahara Sora was stunned when he was interrupted by the girl. What are you talking about?

Hui blinked her shining eyes and continued, "The other day, my senior told me why high heels, perfume, stockings and parasols were invented. I didn't know these before."

"..."

Kitahara Sora stopped stirring the egg liquid and stared at the innocent girl in disbelief. Then, he slowly lowered his head... looking at the egg liquid in the bowl... and then a stainless steel tongs reached out, and Yukino put the tender and juicy roasted beef in it.

The corner of Kitahara Sora's mouth twitched, Oh shit!

"hehe."

Yukino smiled and said, "The Palace of Versailles? Kitahara-kun doesn't necessarily know more about the history of medieval Europe than I do. But is this why you stared at the bathroom before dinner?"

"Yes, is that so? You are awesome, and Snow Encyclopedia is amazing." Kitahara Sora said with a strong smile.

"Eat, why not?" Yukino tapped Kitahara Sora's bowl with a pair of tongs, smiling, "Or are you still thinking about the bathroom? I'm sorry, there's no food there for the time being."

Restroom? Temporarily? Beiyuan Kong was stunned, and suddenly he became angry...

"Hmm...senpai seems to like to think before eating."

Hui thought for a moment and continued, "That day, when we were doing the popular science, it was also the first day of the wine festival. There were many vendors selling specialties around. He was talking while staring at the snacks on the roadside. The more he talked, the better his mood became..."

"Shut up!"

Kitahara Sora looked at Hui angrily, and the expression on his face was as interesting as it could be.

Wow, Hui is cute!

You hold a grudge, don’t you? You hold a grudge, don’t you?

Kitahara Sora, who was furious, picked up the barbecue dipped in teriyaki sauce and egg liquid from the bowl and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing angrily.

Damn, it smells so good!

Chapter 4: Cold Winter, Strong Liquor, Hot Springs ()

Since being chosen, Yukino has never shown her life skills again. Even when you go to her house for dinner, it is a professional chef who is cooking.

Although she seldom cooks, her cooking skills are actually amazing.

Many high-end Japanese dishes are raw food, so they pay great attention to the freshness of the ingredients. When you go to a high-end restaurant to eat, there is usually a dedicated waitress in each private room, so the guests just have to eat.

At this moment, Yukino was like a professionally trained chef and waitress, cooking food skillfully.

She first brushed the pan with butter, then poured a little soy sauce into the pan. Then she spread the high-quality beef on the frying pan, fried each side for only five seconds, then picked it up and put it in Kitahara Sora and Hui's bowl.

This tender beef needs to be wrapped with a piece of fried and thinly sliced ​​scallion, and then put into a bowl of sterile egg liquid and stirred.

Once you put it in your mouth, the ultimate deliciousness will hit your taste buds. The smooth and sticky egg liquid is like thick starch, and the beef melts in your mouth, mixed with the rich aroma of green onions, eggs and teriyaki sauce.

The taste is salty with a hint of sweetness, but the sweetness is diluted by the onion juice and butter. Then, after taking a mouthful of rice and swallowing it with the onions, I feel that the fresh fragrance is also pressed directly into the stomach. This rich feeling of happiness... maybe this is the joy of eating rice.

But it is still a little different from a high-end restaurant. The waiters only serve the customers, but Yukino makes three portions at a time and enjoys the food herself.

There was no need for Hui to explain, she already knew everything she needed to know. So to save trouble, she directly used her chopsticks to operate the frying pan and helped Kitahara Sora and Hui fry the food.

However, this kind of ritualistic meal made Kitahara Sora feel a little uncomfortable. He could only eat one bite at a time. The sushi was also made freshly, so he had to wait for her to finish it after he finished eating.

The most important thing is that her dishes are standard Japanese sweet and salty flavors, which are very fresh, but except for wasabi, there is nothing on the table that can be called spicy.

After squeezing some lemon juice on the last three pieces of saury on the iron plate, Yukino passed them to Kitahara Sora and Hui respectively, and then smiled slightly, "Okay, you need to do it yourself next, the Sukiyaki pot is ready to eat."

As she spoke, she took the iron plate off the table and opened the lid of the hot pot on the gas stove. Immediately, the rich aroma of Sukiyaki pot rose up, and just smelling it made people's appetites grow.

"It would have been great if it had happened earlier!" Kitahara Sora complained and quickly stretched his chopsticks towards the boiling hot pot.

"Not to your liking or are you not used to it?" Xueno blinked, "You've been here for more than a year and you're still not used to it?"

"It's not that it doesn't suit my taste, nor that I'm not used to it."

Kitahara Sora-chan stuffed a piece of shiitake mushroom into his mouth and muttered, "I don't think it's necessary to go through so much trouble. It would have been good to just serve hot pot at the beginning."

"I think it's pretty good. Senior's speed is not slow either. Every time I finish eating, there is new food on the plate. And this kind of food should be savored slowly. Senior eats too fast so it feels slow."

"Ok?"

Beiyuan Kong glanced at the girl and said, "You are implying that I don't know how to enjoy myself, right?"

"I didn't say that."

Hui silently picked up a piece of beef, put it in the egg liquid in her bowl, stirred it, and stuffed it into her mouth, pouting and mumbling: "Besides, Senior Sister has never served anyone before, shouldn't we eat it with gratitude?"

Kitahara Sora was shocked and said angrily, "Don't take me with you when you flatter senior! You know I'm not grateful, my gratitude has melted!"

Yukino glanced at Kitahara Sora calmly, then smiled at Hui, "Hui, don't say anything. It's not that some people don't know how to be grateful, it's really my problem."

She picked up two large shrimps from the pot and placed them on her plate. She put down her chopsticks and slowly began to peel the shells. "I am indeed not very experienced and I am not very good at making spicy dishes. It is normal that they are not to my taste."

The girl sighed with a sad tone, "It seems that I still don't meet the requirements. I still need to study for a long time."

???

Kitahara Sora was stunned, and was amused by the tone of the girl, the great Onmyoji, "Is it not to your taste? Am I not grateful? Don't change the concept! I just think what you cook is too delicious, so I feel anxious waiting!"

"And you can ask Lingyin, it's not like I haven't taken her to eat high-end cuisine before, but I've never been like this today!"

"Oh? So it's so delicious that you're waiting so impatiently?"

Xueno looked at Kitahara Sora with a smile, and shook the tempting shrimp in Qingcong's hand, which was white with a hint of red.

"Of course, and didn't I say I would prepare dinner? I picked you up here to have fun, but you were asked to cook. Although I didn't say it, I felt embarrassed in my heart."

Beiyuan Kong expressed his attitude confidently, and then extended the bowl to him...

"Well, I understand. It turns out that Kitahara-kun knows what gratitude is."

Yukino nodded seriously and put the peeled shrimp into Hui's bowl.

After the girl thanked him, Kitahara Sora awkwardly took back his bowl and said, "Of course, of course, hehe."

Yukino picked up another prawn on the plate again, "But I don't care at all, and please don't be so self-indulgent. I'm not cooking for you, I'm cooking for Hui, and I just made a portion for you as well."

Hui raised her head and looked at Yukino in confusion, "Huh? Especially for me? Thank you, senpai."

Xue No glanced at Kitahara Sora, raised the shrimp in her hand, and said with a smile: "You're welcome."

"Yes, yes, you did it for Hui. You two sisters have a deep bond. I am just doing this for the sake of convenience."

Kitahara Sora complained unhappily, and following Yukino's mischievous gaze, he handed the bowl over again.

But the next second, she opened her red lips as if nothing had happened, and in Beiyuan Kong's shocked and angry gaze, she put the shrimp into her mouth again... It was so infuriating!

Beiyuan Kong glanced at her with a look of deep sorrow, picked up a piece of white and tender tofu angrily, stared at it and sang in a strange voice: "Eating pickles and rolling tofu, the emperor is not as good as me!"

"Pfft..."
